Last summer I mentioned to my late half-sister's son, a pro guitarist on the left coast, that the neck pickup in my Telecaster had gone dead and that I'd been going Springsteen since, but without the talent, charisma and money. So a few days before Xmas a Rose Bourbon pickup arrived from him, I wired it up on the 26th and I'm starting to think it's the best-sounding pickup I've ever used.
